Municipal land that Saanich offered to the province for up to 60 modular homes has been rejected due to the configuration of the property and the cost to upgrade it.

B.C. Housing evaluated the near-half-acre of land north of Saanich Fire Hall No. 1 on Vernon Avenue and determined it is not suitable for modular housing due to the steep slope, since placement of the modular units would require significant engineering and construction.
